étkezésre

Étkezésre is the allative form of the Hungarian noun étkezés, meaning a meal or the act of eating. The suffix -re marks direction toward something or a purpose related to it. Thus étkezésre is used to indicate that something is intended for a meal or associated with eating, and it is commonly found in formal, written, or institutional language. In English it can be translated as “for a meal” or “to the meal.”

It is used with nouns describing objects or time frames connected to meals, as in étkezésre tervezett menüje (the menu designed for meals), étkezésre kijelölt időpontban (at the time designated for meals), étkezésre szolgáló eszközök (utensils for dining), or étkezésre szánt készlet (stock intended for meals). In everyday speech Hungarians would often use simpler constructions or the bare étkezés with other prepositions.

The form belongs to the Hungarian postpositional system and illustrates how suffixes convey purpose or destination. It is more common in written, formal, or institutional contexts such as menus, event programs, facility descriptions, or regulatory texts.
